For the Big Ten to stop being looked at as weak that team up north, Penn State and Nebraska all need to pull their weight (play like Ohio State plays). These three programs should be top 25 schools every year. That's what it will take. Michigan State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa pulling out good seasons doesn't cut it. Don't believe me? Just look at the national narrative on the Big Ten the last couple seasons.

Beat them, yes, always, but it doesn't do Ohio State any favors when they are a laughingstock. It hurts the rivalry, it hurts Ohio State's chances at making the postseason, it hurts the Big Ten in general. A good team up north is good for Ohio State, period. Get better, Blue.

You never can fully tell from a distance, but it seems like he's really turned his life around. Hit rock bottom and got back up. I remember listening to him in a radio interview (this was well after the ESPN thing too) where the interviewer offered him a question about how much support was offered to him from Ohio State (basically a chance to trash the school for not being there for him) and he pretty much threw all the blame on himself and said that so many people at the University were trying to help him, but he wasn't trying to be helped (paraphrasing).

There was one time I saw an ad for tourism in a certain state to the north of us. I almost screenshotted it to make a post similar to this one. Right now I have AT&T Uverse ads which I am already paying for lol.
